Eco Lodges

These two new properties have been built and developed making them as comfortable, warm and hi-tech green energy efficient as possible with 2 ground source heat pumps gaining the heat from 8 Geo thermal bore holes in the front garden drilled to a depth of 330 ft deep, SolarThermal panels and heat recovery system which will expel damp, moist air from bathrooms and kitchen drawn through a heat exchanger which expels damp air outside and brings back in fresh filtered air that is warmed up as it passes through the exchanger back into all other rooms. Typically 70% efficiency is achieved.

LocationMid Wales

This is the go to place for outdoor enthusiasts to make the most of the fantastic walking, riding & cycling opportunities, especially in the Cambrian Mountains National Park. The Ceredigion Coastal Path features numerous trails to choose from depending on how far you wish to travel. Whether for a full walking holiday or just a stroll along the cliffs to a village pub, this unspoilt route is perfect and has views out across the famous Cardigan Bay which is home to the UKs largest pod of dolphins.

Dotted along the Wales-West England border are lots of lovely market towns, many of which have their own castle. This disputed ground has a large number of Roman and Norman medieval fortresses, today some are only ruins or just the earthen works remain however there are plenty which have restored to their former glory and are open to visitors.

Mid Wales also just touches on the edge of the Brecon Beacons, a popular mountain range for exploring caves, forest activities and other more extreme outdoor sports such as rock climbing and abseiling. A number of historic railways mean other regions of Wales are easily accessible for a day trip, and make for an enjoyable way to travel and take in the sights.
